<p>[QUOTE="Desertau, post: 9832624, member: 86775"]I’m going to go for it my concern it would be difficult to get the tarnish off without great effort, but I don’t think it will be all that hard with the right compound. The other day I was using a little piece of white rouge, a fine soft compound for plastics and. It worked but took a while so I ordered new compound blocks and wheels and that is all the difference in the world. Starting with Tripoli it cuts quickly and will be better looking slightly more subdued polish these to pieces took around 4 minutes if all of the pieces were disabled it could be polished in an hour or two. I’ve gone slow on this first one deciding how much tarnish I want to remain this one would work but I think I’ll go just a bit more and do it all the same. Pulling out the brass brads shouldn’t be a problem but with care will add another hour or two, but I plan to work one piece at a time so shouldn’t be that big and if it gets tedious I’ll just take a break till the next day.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]490816[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
